UPDATE: Complain to Air America at this email address. Or phone them at 212-871-8290. Let them know that firing Mike is inexcusable.WARNING: Language extremely unsuitable for children to follow.

Back when I labored under the delusion that we live in a democracy with a two-party system, I listened to Air America. I relished Randi Rhodes' diatribes and thought Janeane Garofalo smart and cute. (It speaks for the modicum of good sense I had left that Al Franken even then gave me an immediate headache. Unfunny egomaniac Franken and his Hegelian ping-pong opponent Rush were of a piece--Bad Cop and Worse Cop.)

After the 2004 election swipe, I stopped listening. Cold. Other things emerged in my life that supplanted the frivolity of so-called party politics. But as my sense of civic duty reawakened in me (this time tempered by the realization that both major "parties" were culpable in whatever wrongdoing prevailed) I found certain islands of independent thought and activism. Strangely enough, one of them, The Mike Malloy Show broadcast on Air America.

Mike Malloy was brave enough to shatter the blockade of real information surrounding the National Myth of 19 Hijackers With Boxcutters. He did so as a happy warrior, seeking the real truth, using frank language when necessary, and giving copious airtime to those seeking to debunk the Official Story: David Ray Griffin, Robert Bowman, Alex Jones, and Webster Tarpley (whom Randi Rhodes still thinks is dead).

All this light and fresh air was too much for the undifferentiated creeping things lurking under the stones at Air Amnesia, and they begged for the dank darkness to be restored. Today, the ball-less, soul-less motherfucking bastards fired Mike Malloy. These lickers of Bush, these Benedict Arnolds of Democracy, these Quislings, these Chamberlains canned the one person who was prepared to shove the Blazing Umbrella of Truth up their own asses and open it wide.

Since the "game" (a scrimmage, really) is rigged it wouldn't do for someone like Mike with a clear eye and the fury of righteousness in his heart to spoil the fun just as Hillary's turn in the barrel is about to begin. These weasels, these scumbags, these rats, these repulsive remote-controlled toads deserve to be crushed by the dark forces they are trying to appease, if they are not in league with them entirely. Woody Allen said, "The lion will lie down with the lamb, but the lamb won't get much sleep." Consider that, "Democrats." Chew on that, pseudo-Liberals.

Write Mike Malloy a note of thanks and support for all he's done to wake people up. Write Air Ambivalence, if you can figure out how to get in touch with them. Download Mike's shows HERE while you still have the chance.

The Patriots are at it again--trying to protect our dainty pink ears from the truth. Read Paul Craig Roberts' experience with the self-appointed guardians of our consciousness HERE. Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under Ronald Reagan--an obvious Jihadist. If the FBI ever reopens the case against Osama, he's dead meat.

A Republican candidate for this area’s congressional seat said Wednesday that the U.S. government was complicit in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

In an editorial board interview with The Telegraph on Wednesday, the candidate, Mary Maxwell, said the U.S. government had a role in killing nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center and Pentagon, so it could make Americans hate Arabs and allow the military to bomb Muslim nations such as Iraq.Maxwell, 59, seeks the 2nd District congressional seat. The Concord resident opposes the incumbent, Charles Bass of Peterborough, and Berlin Mayor Bob Danderson in the Republican primary Sept. 12.

Maxwell would not specify if she holds the opinion that the government stood by while terrorists hijacked four domestic airliners and used them as weapons, or if it had a larger role by sanctioning and carrying out the attacks.

But she implicated the government by saying the Sept. 11 attacks were meant “to soften us up . . . to make us more willing to have more stringent laws here, which are totally against the Bill of Rights . . . to make us particularly focus on Arabs and Muslims . . . and those strange persons who spend all their time creating little bombs,” giving Americans a reason “to hate them and fear them and, therefore, bomb them in Iraq for other reasons.”

She said this strategy “would be normal” for governments, citing her belief that the British government – and not the Germany military – sank the Lusitania ocean liner in 1915. The deaths of Americans on the cruise liner helped galvanize U.S. support to enter World War I, and benefited England, she said.

In turn, the Sept. 11 attacks “made the ground fertile” for more stringent laws, such as the Patriot Act, and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, Maxwell said.

Near the end of the interview, Maxwell pounded her fist on the table and asked editors of The Telegraph why they weren’t publishing more stories about the government’s role in the terrorist attacks or proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Maxwell has no political experience. She lived abroad for the past quarter-century with her husband, George, a pediatrician, and only recently returned to the U.S., she said.

In the hour-long interview, Maxwell spoke at length about Constitutional law, U.S. law, nuclear weapons proliferation, and other domestic and foreign policy issues.

Maxwell said the U.S. should withdraw from Iraq. She also questioned whether Congress authorized the war and said its members can’t explain that 2002 vote. (Congress authorized the use of force to defend this country’s security and enforce United Nations resolutions on Iraq.)

“Legally, we shouldn’t have gone to Iraq if Congress can’t explain why,” she said.

Maxwell described herself as a strict Constitutionalist, a candidate who wants to bring the country “back to basics.” The Constitution grants more power to the legislative branch than the other two branches, but Congress has allowed the executive and judicial branches to diminish its influence, she said.

UPDATE: The show went great! Download it HERE. Many thanks again to Vyz for having us on his excellent program!

You've read Herb's scholarly articles and my snarky comments. Now you can hear us live on Monday, August 21 at 11 AM ET on the finest talk program extant, Vyzygoth's From the Grassy Knoll. The link to Vyz's Live365 page is HERE for on-line listening.

I can't tell you how excited we are to be heard nationally, and on a program of such high quality. To hear some of Vyz's previous programs, check out his archive page.

WARNING: Although this performer speaks the plain truth, he uses strong language that some may find offensive. That being said, even if you don't like Rap give this a listen. (If you REALLY don't like Rap, listen to THIS instead.)

UPDATE: I just heard this program. I haven't laughed so hard since Bob and Ray went off the air. Listen to this comedy of omission HERE (Real Audio) or HERE (Windows Media. About 37 minutes in they absurdly punt a question on Building Seven--it was the seismic shocks of the towers falling that brought it down! (That would explain why there are no steel-framed skyscrapers in LA or San Francisco.)

At 11 AM ET on Thursday, August 17, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton of the Whitewash 9/11 Commission will be pushing their pack of lies on the Diane Rehm Show. Call in early and often at 1-800-433-8850 or send Diane an e-mail.

Let these clowns know what pusillanimous, gatekeeping capons you think they are, and that you'd like someone with actual balls to re-open the investigation, thank you very much. And tell 'em Uticans for 9/11 Truth sent you.

I have to admit that I admire Jim Kunstler's novels (such as The Halloween Ball and Maggie Darling) and his diatribes against urban sprawl and the Wal-Martization of America (Geography of Nowhere and Home From Nowhere), but his new fascination with/emotional investment in the Peak Oil business is more troublesome. Even worse is his total dismissal of any but the official story regarding 9/11/2001. Here are some particularly malodorous quotes:

The United States had to take Jihad seriously when Jihad hijacked airplanes and knocked down two skyscrapers and one side of the Pentagon. (And, by the way, I regard theories that Vice-president Dick Cheney "masterminded" the 9/11 attacks to be paranoid nonsense beneath discussion.)

(The 9/11 Dick Cheney fantasy is interesting insofar as it provides the nuttier elements of the peace movement with a justification for not replying to the attacks -- we did it to ourselves.)

I met Jim last year, and found him affable, but here he's being nasty--and absolutely wrong. Jim would probably respond by saying that I have a fat ass. (Jim's main objection to Michael Moore is not his left-gatekeeper status, but his obesity.) So be it.

The co-administrator of this site received the following communication from the Observer-Dispatch after proposing a scholarly guest column on aspects of the 9/11 cover-up:

Mr. Smith - We are not taking any guest columns on the topic at this time, if that changes, we'll let you know. In the meantime, you are always welcome to write a letter. Beth DiCocco, assistant editor, opinion page (315) 792-5006

A letter, in this instance, means a 150-word hiccup that is destined to be truncated still further by the procrustean hacks at the O-D. This is fine for the sort of barbaric yawp emitted by your average television-hypnotized, cognitively-constipated Utican, but not nearly enough to say what needs to be said on this imperative topic.

No "guest columns on the topic at this time?" In less than a month, the fifth anniversary of 9/11/2001 will occur, and with it I see the editorial page of this smarmy asswipe of an alleged newspaper loaded with articles, columns, and weepy/vengeful remembrances--but not the truth.

Let Beth DiCocco know that Uticans (and others) demand the truth about 9/11--not just another treacly rehash of the National Myth.

UPDATE: Here is the twisted lump of molten metal removed from the stove yesterday after three hours' exposure to fire.

When I arose today at 1 PM, having gone to bed at 7 AM after putting together my radio show for today, I noticed a funny smell--a hot smell. It turns out that my wife Sue had left the burner going under the cast-iron flying pan for three hours after cooking her breakfast and leaving the house to set up her classroom.

If the Official Version is correct, why hadn't the pan and the stove turned to molten iron? The pan itself was undamaged, but it may need to be reseasoned. The stove, of course, was fine.

9/21/2006 UPDATE: Actually, in light of all the crap that has come out from Red-Shield of the Regressive and Mr. Nude Sunbathing Hazard of the Negation, this was a pretty fair piece. Hindsight is everything.

UPDATE: The Malloy Show for Tuesday, August 8 may be downloaded using this link--the Alex Jones segment begins about 35 minutes into the soundfile.

Love him or hate him, Alex Jones is the putative father of the 9/11 Truth movement. He appeared on Mike Malloy's program this evening, giving by all accounts a pleasant interview. The archive should be HERE within a day or so. This Thursday, August 10, Mike Malloy will be on The Alex Jones Show, accesible from his Infowars site.

For my own part, I appreciate Alex Jones, though I consider him one of many activists working to get the word out on 9/11 and mobilize people. He's supremely skilled at making people initially aware of the deceptions and misrepresentations offered by the government and the mainstream media--but his presentations do gloss over certain topics. Victor Thorn and Lisa Guliani of WING TV have cited well-documented occasions where he's censored callers to his program, among other things. If Alex Jones gets people started on their own researches of the material, that's a genuine boon, provided the research does not end with Alex Jones.

There are many paths to the top of the mountain--and to the answers behind 9/11. Of course, some of them are more twisted than others. We revere the truth far more than we revere any one person who might proclaim it.

Tuesday, August 01, 2006

The panel discussion from the recent Los Angeles American Scholars conference on 9/11 will be aired on C-SPAN this Saturday evening from 8-9:45 EDT. The discussion features Alex Jones, Bob Bowman, Steven Jones, Webster Tarpley, and James H. Fetzer.

Be sure to have all your Cognitively Constipated friends and relatives watch!
